Just Ducky: As a 19-year-old centreman, Dale Hawerchuk led the Winnipeg Jets in scoring in 1982-83, amassing 40 goals and 91 points — which was still only good enough for 16th place in the overall league rolls. Wayne Gretzky, 22, led the way that year with 71 goals and 196 points. This is Hawerchuk at Montreal’s Forum in November of ’82, with teammates (behind him) Dave Babych and (beside) Lucien DeBlois (maybe?). Canadiens’ Guy Carbonneau makes a cameo, too.
